5th ODI - some thoughts

I'm not convinced of Powell. At all. Despite 73 yesterday. It was fine in retrospect, but he's got incredibly suspect technique to be an opener. But if he can still play like he did yesterday, fair enough.
I have no idea why Santokie isn't being given an extended run. It's a bloody joke. He's done enough to deserve a call up AND to get an extended run - at least for 2 series.

Holder, I think he's better of sticking to Tests, get Santokie in for him IMHO. But that's my 2c. He'd leak a lot of runs to be a good ODI bowler.

And Russell is a shyte bowler, but he could make that up with his hard hitting ability. So just consider him to be a batting allrounder. If he doesn't do well with the bat, get rid of him.

Yes, Holder is a find.

I think we need a battery of young bowlers with the 24 year old Roach as a senior (he's experienced internationally).

Then we need to consistently pick the same bowlers and let them grow. We seem to always be changing bowling squads.

Holder is indeed a real good find .............

The problem with Roachie is ....... he always seems to be injured.  Has Ottiss sorted out Roach's follow through yet?  According to Mikey Holding .... it puts undue stress on his body and needed to be sorted out !!

What's happened to Shannon Gabriel ??  Ottiss sorted out his 'falling away' at point of delivery yet ??

Some bowling coach !!  >

Ditto .........

West Indies’ overwhelming display, following poor performances in the two previous ODIs, resulted in New Zealand’s second heaviest ODI defeat.

Look for a big beat downg in the T20 Night Games .

Game starts at 1 o'clock in the mornings !
